Yeah I know, a crap title. I was surprised to receive the Wind Waker a day early, especially since I only paid £30 for it (with the bonus disc). Anyway, I played the game for an hour or so before going to college, and initial impressions are good. Very good indeed. The graphical style will amaze for the first few minutes of play, and then it will all become familiar, like any other game. Having NEVER played a cell shaded game before, the style is wonderful.

I've got another free hour before my next lesson - so why am I not playing the game right now? Well, let me explain. You know how every reviewer has said that they went through Zelda without losing a single life? I've lost one in Outset Island - the first island - to a PIG. I was trying to pick the damn thing up by sneaking up next to it, but nothing happens - so naturally, I gave it a few swipes of the sword and pretty soon, it started to ram poor Link silly. Then, it was two against one - and I had no shield, so death was inevitable. Slightly embarrassing considering I completed Ocarina of Time only losing one life.

Oh, special mention goes to the musical encores every time Link's sword makes contact with an enemy - it makes fighting more dramatic.

> Platinum cubes are poo.

A totally meaningless statement if ever I heard one:

1) Poo, excreted from the anus is exactly that...poo. Poo is poo, nothing more, nothing less.
2) A "Platinum cube" as you call it can only be made of Platinum, which is a precious metal. So, how can a solid cube of platinum be poo, when we already know that poo is poo...the stuff that comes out of an ?

Oh, maybe you a referring to the platinum coloured Gamecube? Aahhhh, it all makes sense now. Sounds to me like you already own an older gamecube, want a new platinum coloured one, but for whatever reason can't get one...argue the point all you like; I don't care whether I am wrong or right.

All I know is I got a Gamecube (colour irrelevant) and a copy of the limited edition Zelda game pack for £89...poo on that My Frooty.

heh


I died to a pig, but it was much later on in the game.


One of them grows really massive, I got it to attack me and it did about 4 hearts of damage with every hit, and it was completely unstopable.
